this endurance of some bacteria arrive antibiotic Can to provoke until By 2050, 10 million people will die every year if you don’t take appropriate measures In order to deal with this situation, according to World Health Organization (WHO).
According to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), antibiotic-resistant bacteria killed approximately 1.2 million people in 2019 alone. That’s because infections that were once effectively treated with these drugs are now life-threatening.this Respiratory system and blood system They are most susceptible to the diseases they cause.
Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics include Staphylococcus aureuswhich may result in pneumonia, Heart and bone valve infectionsas well as serious complications such as Endocarditis and bacteremia.
bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii and members of fEnterobacteriaceaeas E. coli, Shigella and Salmonella They are also resistant to antibiotics. They can cause different infections, from skin and urinary problems to pneumonia and meningitis.
Other bacteria that show resistance to certain antibiotics are Helicobacter pylori and Streptococcus.first reason stomach infection, Gastritis and cancer; while the second one resulted in meThroat infection.
The phenomenon is a growing concern internationally, as antibiotic resistance kills more people than HIV/AIDS.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens medical progress
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics not only poses a threat to everyone’s health, but also jeopardizes medical progress made in recent decades, according to the National Autonomous University of Mexico. This is because antimicrobial resistance is a threat that could reverse the progress made in treating infections and diseases.
“The ability of these pathogens to adapt to new drugs and develop resistance requires a continuous search for innovative solutions,” the top research body said.
Furthermore, bacterial resistance to antibiotics is not limited to specific types or geographical areas, as it is a global problem that requires a coordinated and multifaceted response from both the medical community and the general public.
WHO warns of importance of developing new antibiotics
The World Health Organization has identified the importance of developing new antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Although it is also necessary to take precautions to control infection and promote responsible use of such medications.
Likewise, it is not the sole responsibility of health systems or the scientific community to prescribe preventive measures and combat bacterial resistance to antibiotics, but it is necessary for governments, international organizations and society to be involved.
